I've been looking for about a week now for a like new low mileage 2jz gte engine with the manual 5 speed trans to swap with my v35. In essence to the cast iron block and forged internals this is the best way to go seeing as I plan on boosting my car, if anyone knows of someone who has a low mileage (under 20k) 2j, pleSe help me out, I understand other threads have been posted but even on ebay it seems like I can't find a complete low mileage full engine and trans, and also if anyone has any tips on the swap for any problems I may run I to feel free to help me out, found a decent swap kit for the g35 that includes all the mountin hardware and wire adapters also which should help a lot.. Just really looking for the engine and trans combo with very low miles, non vvti

 

Dude good luck with this.

 

LSx plus T-56????

 

I'd believe the 2jz gte engine is a better option than the lsx, I'm doing the work, thinking in the end it'll be 10,000 to be pushing 400-500 hp that's including a couple other things. I just want to find a like new 2j if you guys have any other ideas I'm open to discussion that's why I'm asking, but I think the LSx would be too big.

 

The LS fits perfectly, WAY cheaper, V8 sound, way lighter, and can support massive HP. It can't support as much as a 2j, but I doubt you'll be pushing 1300hp. If you are, then 2j it up, brutha..

 

I'm just planning on 700 hp I really want a 500hp daily driver, if the ls is the way to go I believe there are built engines I could buy that are cast iron, correct? If so I'd believe that would be the best way to go.. I'm planning on boost if I get the 2j but if I could find a cast iron ls with forged internals that would be nice also, just seems easier to swap the 2j and boost the sh*t out of it. Maybe an ls is the way to go then? Seems good.. I had a 94 z28 before this car and it still ran nicely at 200,000 miles before I got my g hahaha

 

A cast iron Chevy block should be an LT not an LS. You could look for a 90s corvette LT1. Don't think it has forged internals tho. Of course, it begs the question of why iron? I realize the strength, but the weight is absolutely ridiculous. There is a vendor on here who sells fully built, fully forged VQs that are twin turbo ready and could easily handle 700hp and its able to be dropped it. They're called IPP engines. I'll get you a link to their site.

Man those engines get me wet.

 

Yeah, I'm going for a stage 3 when I decide a new motor is necessary.

 

Soo uhhh you've gotta lotta money. Mind buying the drinks tonight

 

It's Wednesday, ladies buy

 

Hahahaha so I'm hearing some different ideas here, the 2j is a cast iron block which can take more pressure than aluminum and it comes with forged internals from the factory.. Stock, it can push 550 hp no problem with no upgrades just upping the boost... Although I do miss my lt camaro I just am trying to get the most hp. So right now it's really between the 2j and an lt engine

 

I think I'll stick with the 2j for boost power, I'll be posting a thread with the work progress and pics also, unless you guys can find me a fully built lt engine with forged internals?

My point tho, is that you can have an all aluminum, fully built, forged internals VQ capable of 1200hp for about $12k and change, and a decent 2j is gonna cost $20k and you'll have to modify EVERYTHING to make it work. Just not understanding your logic.
